Volume 3 (Parts VI-X) of a handweaving course from the London School of Weaving, covering the steps from warping to finished cloth on a simple six-treadle floor loom. It explains the warping mill and frame, making and securing the cross, chaining, beaming with a reed or raddle, tying up the harness, threading headles and reed, winding bobbins, and weaving. The final sections cover finishing (waulking) and washing, then pattern drafting with seven sample cloths: plain/tabby, hopsack, twill, bird's eye, munkabelte, rosengong and honeysuckle. Numbered line drawings illustrate equipment and procedures, and drafts with threading, tie-up and treadling accompany each cloth.
